Description

The world’s premier Tibetan English dictionary has finally come to iOS. The Illuminator was the first modern and high quality Tibetan-English dictionary in electronic format. Unlike other Tibetan English electronic dictionaries available, which are a conglomeration of materials garnered from pre-existing translations and other sources. The Illuminator has been created entry by entry by a scholar of many years experience who lives and works in daily contact with Tibetan scholars and translates for the great teachers of the Tibetan Buddhist world. Each entry is produced by individually translating and explaining the terms involved. In general, the Illuminator has been praised for its absence of mistakes, excellence of presentation, and the exceptional and forward-looking quality of the work contained within it.

The dictionary is an ongoing work. A new version of the dictionary, with substantial improvements, is delivered at the beginning of January each year. The version available here at the moment is this year's edition. Users of a previous year's edition will obtain significant benefit by purchasing this year's edition.
